Imagine appreciating a private, secure, impeccably clean apartment in the historic district of Charleston. It is filled with chic antiques but is a comfortable, casual home. The 3rd floor apartment with elevator access was originally a c. 1888 school converted into opulent condos with attractively maintained gardens and grounds including outdoor dining area . The property is located on one of the best streets in the city, Legare Street, is locked 24/7, with secure gate-only access and one dedicated parking spot. Off-street parking is painless for guests. Should you like a weekly or bi-weekly housekeeper, ours will be happy to work with you . She has worked with us for 8 years and makes life a dream!

This unit was modernized in the past 2 years and includes original heart pine floor, extraordinary 13 foot ceilings with a full eastern wall of 10-foot windows (watch the sun rise over the city!) and gorgeous vistas of St. Phillips and St. Michael's steeples, making it feel like New York or Paris living, but in our striking Charleston setting. The kitchen includes a Sub-Zero refrigerator, Bosch dishwasher and induction range, which is remarkable for those who haven't used one. We adore to prepare and you will find nearly everything you need for cooking. Finest of all you have 3 Bialetti expresso makers and superb electronic whipper. If you have not had the enjoyment of Bialetti coffee, we predict you will never go back to your former routine. We also celebrate the finest shower we have ever had!

Although the home was sold as a two-bedroom, we have converted those rooms to a suite with wide double doors to join them. The space is set up as a 1 Bedroom and a Study which can be completely closed off for work or peaceful Zoom meetings. The building is mostly absentee owners so extremely peaceful and includes a variety of ages from 30's - 80's.

A five min. walk to the shopping district on King Street and many of the best eateries in Charleston such as Fig, 167 Raw, and Bin 152, Lowland Cafe. It is an simple walk to The Battery with its grand architecture and history. Still, it is well off the beaten path of tourists other than the carriage tours.

This will never be a place for events other than peaceful dinners for a modest group of friends. Because of strict rules around dogs, we aren't able to allow family pets. This is a place for adults over 30 who want a chic environment, security, beauty, a ideal historic location, off street parking and tranquility and peaceful.

The apartment is ideal for a single or couple working from home or just wanting to take in the sensory pleasures of historic Charleston; the location is ideal. The 29401 zip code is considered the best in the city. We are 1/2 block "north of Broad" - a few min. walk to South of Broad one of the country's most handsome and historically preserved neighborhoods.

Tips and Tricks to get the perfect Charleston vacation home experience:

Sticking to your rental home budget:

• In the Charleston area area, The sooner you can reserve a vacation rental, the easier your search will be. The most desirable vacation homes are booked very early. Booking your vacation rental six to twelve months before your vacation is recommended. Holiday gatherings are excellent times to plan and book your vacation rental.
• Summer months are the most expensive season in Charleston. To find the most suitable rental home for your budget, we recommend booking in the Spring or Fall. You'll enjoy lower rental rates, better selection, beautiful weather and the absence of large crowds at your favorite Charleston area restaurants and activities. Many vacationers use this method to find larger homes within budget, or to book a beach front rental that would otherwise be unavailable during the high season.
• Active Duty and veterans of the US Armed forces may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property management company or host whether your vacationing group qualifies for a special rate.
• Management companies and individual rental owners often offer guests an option to add trip insurance. Trip insurance, which normally will cost anywhere between 1% - 5% of the booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed trip time as a result of personal medical-related catastrophes or weather, as well as hurricane evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel or extra gas expenses. Trip insurance might be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for specifics.
• Find a copy of your local Charleston area visitors guide upon arrival. If your rental property doesn't have one, you can find them at local grocery stores and visitor centers. In addition to great local stories, visitor guide magazines contain money saving offers on local tours, shops, and attractions.

Planning and choosing the perfectrental:

• Select your vacation week and spending budget.
• Note the number beds and the bed configuration your group needs. Historic downtown designer apartment near Broad\/King 30 day min private parking has 1 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our rentals search.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is often available on booking pages. If you don't see them listed, call the host before you reserve your rental. Note that most property listings specify maximum guest capacity, which often includes sofa beds and bunks. You'll need to determine what is best for your vacation family.
• Some properties allow pets, but some do not. Acceptable types of pet, size and breeds may be restricted, and added fees may apply. Ask the property manager about pets before booking.
• If there's a particular Charleston area attraction you crave, search for homes that are either nearby, or those that cater especially to your desires.
• Suitable accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for guests that require the use of a wheelchair. Confirm all necessary amenities are available before reserving a rental.

Have a great stay:

• We recommend storing the owner's information in your smartphone.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a fireplace, television set or appliance. Contact your host. They are there to help! A brief telephone call can prevent many issues.
• Keep your rental home locked while you're away! Don't let crooks spoil your holiday.
• To make certain damages are not linked to your family's stay, note any problem areas during check in. text the property manager right away to document any pre-existing damages. If there is a dispute about legal responsibility later, having a record of problems and contact attempts will be very helpful.
• Respect your neighbors. Often times, nearby homes are occupied by permanent residents. Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking rules can make a stay significantly more pleasurable.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Locals can often help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to book the best tours, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for crabbing?
• Double-check every room of the vacation property to confirm that you've packed all of your belongings at departure. Make sure to check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden treasure. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Document the condition of the property at check-out. We recommend taking a video during your final walk-through.
• Did your group have a great time? Most rental management companies make it easy for customers to provide reviews. If your property and/or property manager was great, they will likely appreciate your kind words. If anything was wrong and they failed to fix it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make a note as part of your feedback.
